FUD Storm: Top 5 Market Losers In Heightened Uncertainty

The market is currently experiencing a downturn fueled by an unsettling combination of FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt). Adding to this challenging situation is the recent lawsuit filed against crypto exchange giants Coinbase and Binance by the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

Both Binance and Coinbase were charged by the SEC of being unregistered exchanges that sold unregistered securities, including Binance’s own digital assets, BNB and the Binance USD (BUSD) stablecoin.

As a consequence of this disheartening news, Binance’s netflow on the Ethereum blockchain has plummeted to a staggering negative $776.8 million.

This event led to the crypto market dropping over 3% in the past 24 hours at the time of writing as significant cryptocurrencies slid, pulling the entire market downwards. Meanwhile, Bitcoin, for its part, continues to languish below the $27k region.

Thus, these top five cryptocurrencies are a must-avoid for investors if they want to stay in the green this week. 

Top 5 Losing Cryptos Amid FUD Storm

PEPE

Once the bringer of significant gains to investors has now succumbed to the bearish forces of the market, according to Coingecko, the token is now down over 13% in the daily timeframe, following the market slippage that started this week. 

The token’s current trajectory puts it on a path for more FUD for investors. At the moment, PEPE’s price oscillates above the $0.00000101 support range. With the bearish sentiment in the crypto market right now, it will take some time before bulls can knock a zero out of PEPE. 

SAND

Despite a strong advertising campaign ahead of Paris Hilton’s concert on the 7th of June, investors’ and traders’ confidence in SAND was shaken as major cryptocurrencies fell in price. Coingecko noted a 17% decrease in the past 24 hours, a sign that more pain in the short to medium term is at hand.

SAND is currently sitting above the $0.4976 support range. Investors and traders could expect the bears to break through this support level if the bearishness in the market continues. If this happens, a drop to $0.4368 will occur. 

SUI

Even as the news of the network’s partnership with Red Bull Racing hit the market, bears still found a way to crash the party. Recent market data shows that the SUI, the governance token of the network, is down 14% since Wednesday. 

SUI has a newfound support range at $$0.7533. SUI bulls, however, should not expect much from this support level as it has no strength backing it. At the moment, investors and traders should monitor the market’s movement as the token has a significant correlation with Bitcoin.

Bearish Atmosphere Pervades

CFX

Bears brought havoc to CFX, continuing the bearish momentum after Conflux was affected by Multichain’s irregularities. As of writing, the CFX is down over 12% since yesterday, following the general market downturn. 

At the moment, CFX bulls are trying to settle around the $0.2229 support level. If this support holds, we might be able to see a return towards $0.2354 in the long term. However, investors and traders should still be wary of short to medium term losses on the token. 

AXS

Despite the successful release of Axie Origins on the Apple Store last month, the market downturn and FUD dashed any hope of gains in the short term. Coingecko data reveals that the token is down nearly 12% since Wednesday. 

After enjoying gains made after the release of Axie Origins, bears are now trying to break through the $6.6 support level. If they are successful, a drop to $5.86 in the near future is possible if the market continues to pull AXS downward.
